Recently I did an interview with Ethan St. Pierre of Transfm.org.
You can listen to here:
We discussed a post at the Bay Area Reporter titled “Leaders: ENDA will get House vote this month“, specifically comments from the executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), Mara Keisling.
Even as NCTE gears up for it’s [...]
First they aired a tranphobic episode of The New Adventures Of Old Christine, then CBS News decided to ditch the accepted guidelines of the AP Stylebook to write this ugly little post, and now this:
CBS was recently criticized for airing an anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl while refusing to sell ad time to [...]
That’s my opinion on where the good doctor is headed. In a recent post at Bilerico.com she said:
“The incredibly unflappable Signorile asked about the failure of Congress to move on ENDA and DADT, and the President’s failure to lead. Frank’s angry response was that the LGBT community has failed to lobby Congress. He characterized our [...]
As I write this, I feel as if I’ve been transported back in time to May of 2007. The National Transgender Advocacy Coalition (NTAC) had just had a successful lobby days event and I reported back that the talk on the Hill during Lobby Days was that we were being written out of the Employment [...]
I read the post by Adam Bink, “Misdirected Anger Over ENDA” and I have to say I’m pretty damn appalled. His first contention:
“I reject blame placed upon people who choose to focus on an issue and pound on it. In the first place is prioritization. By my own estimate, probably 80% of my posts and [...]
Apparently CBS has decided that the AP sytlebook is too tame for its content, and would rather go the way of Jerry Springer.
Each year as another Transgender Day of Remembrance comes near, it seems as if another group or organization tries to remake the TDOR in their own image
On November 5th, 2009, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee will hold hearings on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). The hearings will take place in a city where over half of its citizens are African American. According to the Washington D.C. Transgender Needs Assessment Survey performed in 2000, only 58 percent of [...]
Every time I see a story about “USA: 8-year-old child sex change“, “8-year-old boy has ’sex change’, or Boy, 8, has ’sex change’, that is Unbelievable!, it sickens me. Not because of the children, but because of the media. These children are transgender, not transsexual. They are simply being allowed to self identify, without any [...]
The intersection of internet wars sometimes brings interesting observations to mind, and today one such intersection really spoke to me. Recently Jasper over at Jasper’s wardrobe has made some pretty controversial things about gender and transwomen. From “just your average straight white guy with a cunt“:
“I do not recognize any claims to the truth of [...]
